How many baby seahorses survive to adulthood?

Only a small percentage of baby seahorses, known as fry, survive to adulthood. Estimates suggest that less than 1% of seahorse fry make it to maturity due to predation, environmental factors, and competition for resources. Their survival rate is influenced by various factors, including habitat quality and the presence of predators. As a result, seahorses exhibit high reproductive output to compensate for these low survival rates.
